Hello, Please help. This is my first time trying to start X windows using cygwin although I have been using cygwin for a while now. I am running it like this: 1. Open cygwin bash shell 2. Type startxwin.bat The problem is that not much happens after that except that an X icon shows up in the windows task bar. If I open the windows Task Manager, I can see that there are two XWin.exe programs running. There is also an xterm.exe running, although I cannot see it on my screen. I have tried killing one of the XWin.exe processes, but the xterm never opens. I have also tried startx from the cygwin shell. This produces the same results described above, although it does print some information to the shell. Listed below is a copy of this shell printout. Am I starting it the wrong way? I am running this under Windows XP with service pack 2 installed. Any ideas? I have seached the web and mailing list archive to try and find some answers for this problem, but have found nothing. Thanks in advance for any help.
